@hongminhee @silverpill Maybe consider writing posts in both languages, Korean and English. Multi-language posting on the protocol side is in its early infancy and basically does not exist, but you at least don't seem to have the arbitrary character limit on posts that a certain blue elephant has. It might not be a bad idea to take advantage of that. Even if the english part is slightly broken, there is still the possibility of defaulting to a translation.

Not sure how that would hold up in reality, but it seems like a reasonable option to me, even though translators in $current_year are getting worse instead of better in general. Google Translate is barely usable now.
@mkljczk @hollo @hongminhee Ideally I think it should render based on the user's language and if it doesn't match, display the "main" language the post was written in, which of course is not possible because AS2 did not define the order, like usual. Another standardization like a FEP would need to be created.

On the same note, I have a hard time thinking how to make that look nice in Pleroma-FE, similar to translations which aren't implemented either I think. The status view isn't forgiving to new elements and both a button, or a language drop down look completely out of place when I tried.
